It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

I mean the downsides are it's Linux. That's not without it's upsides but the downsides are huge.

Would a phone have that many downsides? I would think that a computer would have much more. Maybe the phone companies don't play nice? I 100% don't know what the downsides would be.

From my research, the phone part of the "phone" doesn't work very well. Which is a pretty big caveat.

Where did you get that from? I have been using one for the past 6 months without any calling issues.

It was a common complaint I came across when researching a few different Linux devices.

I guess if you're not having issues I must be wrong, because everyone's experiences should mirror yours exactly.
